What kind of video card is in the system? The video card is a Hercules 3D Prophet II MX Please try a text based install if you have not already and see if this works better. The text based install did not work any better. Basically, I can get everything to install except for the monitor. I can operate at the prompt but cannot load x because the video card settings do not work. When using xconfigurator, when you "probe" the video settings, an error occurs and the probe fails. It doesn't matter if we use the settings xconfigurator locates or we set manually. Please attach the output from the '/usr/sbin/ddcprobe' command. The output of ddcprobe won't do any good. From looking at the traceback, it looks like the installer can't find the Cards database. Something went wrong with the download or you have a bad cd. Redownload and try again. Better yet, download 7.1, which was just released. |
